MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />OCTOBER 14, 2004 <br />CUP FOR <br />ANTENNA <br />TOWER - <br />141 LITTLE <br />CANADA <br />ROAD — <br />CITY <br />Keis asked if any windows were proposed in the garage. Pugleasa <br />indicated that there would be no windows initially, but would be added <br />later. <br />Barraclough indicated that he had a problem with the precedent that this <br />garage would set. Barraclough asked about allowing a. garage that would <br />be less than 1,000 square feet in size and then placing a storage shed on <br />the excess garage slab and connecting the two structures. <br />The City Planner stated that two structures that abut are still considered to <br />be one building even if there is no access between. The Planner noted that <br />under the Code a property is allowed one garage up to 1,000 square feet <br />and one accessory shed up to 120 square feet. The Planner suggested that <br />if the Commission is looking for a compromise, that one option would be <br />to allow a garage of 1,120 square feet in size (approximately 26 feet by 43 <br />feet). This represents the combination of the 1,000 square foot garage and <br />120 square foot shed. One condition would be that no storage shed would <br />be allowed on the property. One plus for the City would be that there <br />would be one structure on the property that would be sided to match the <br />existing house. <br />Pugleasa reported that his preference would be for the size garage that he <br />has requested. He would have to figure out what he could put on the extra <br />slab if the garage he is limited to is 26 feet by 43 feet. <br />Barraclough recommended approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow <br />construction of a garage exceeding 1,000 square feet in size, that garage to <br />be 26 feet by 43 feet as suggested by the City Planner, subject to <br />compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as contained in <br />his report dated October 11, 2004, and subject the property owner waiving <br />rights to an accessory storage shed for this property. <br />Motion seconded by Knudsen. <br />Motion carried 6 — 0. <br />The Public Works Director appeared before the Commission requesting <br />approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow installation of a 40 -foot <br />high antenna tower at the Little Canada Water Booster Station located <br />at 141 County Road B Gast. The Director reported that it is necessary <br />to have a communications system between the City's water tower and <br />booster station. This system communicates water levels in the tower <br />so that the pumps in the booster station can maintain those levels. The <br />- 3 - <br />
